Whitby Abbey & Abbey
Headland Through Time
£9.59
Dominating the seaport of Whitby from its headland site the imposing & brooding ruins of Whitby Abbey date from the seventh century. The renowned & wise St Hilda ruled over the first monastery & witnessed one of the defining moments in the establishment of the Church
- the Synod of Whitby in AD 664. Sacked by the Vikings it lay in ruins until the Norman Conquest when it was re-established & grew into one of the most powerful & richest Abbeys in Yorkshire. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII the site was sold & the lord of the manor built himself a grand private residence using some of the stone from the Abbey. Over time the abbey ruins came into the guardianship of English Heritage who have in the last fifty years conserved the ruins for posterity & transformed the headland into a major tourist area.

Whitby Yards Through
Time

To visit Whitby's ' Yards' is to step back in time. Hardly changed from the Middle Ages this is where one can still meet old Whitby
- a secret Whitby
- unspoilt & untroubled by the holiday visitor. The yards alleyways & ghauts are fascinating places to explore. Though often private there are enough remaining to catch a glimpse of what this small seaport must have been like two or three hundred years ago. Today over eighty named yards still exist out of more than one hundred & there are in addition another thirty or so places of similar character but perhaps called 'steps' 'lane' 'square' or 'place'. The origins of the yards lay in the days of medieval Whitby & its development. Join Alan Whitworth on this affectionate & lavishly illustrated account which will surprise & delight anyone who knows the area.
